The aim of this study was to explore similarities and differences in the understanding and demonstration of compassion in nursing practice across 15 countries. Design: A total of 1,323 nurses from 15 countries responded to questions in relation to compassion, via an international online survey. Results: The data revealed the impact of sociopolitical influences on perceptions of compassion, and the conscious and intentional nature of compassion. Discussion and Conclusion: The study demonstrated shared understandings of the importance of compassion as well as some common perceptions of the attributes of compassionate care. The differences reported were not as significant as had been expected. Implications for Practice: Further research is needed to explore the country and culture differences in the enactment of compassion. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/10547 | ISSN: | 10436596 | DOI: | 10.1177/1043659615624740 | Rights: | © The Author(s) | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology Middlesex University Metropolitan State University Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University Lovisenberg Deaconal Hospital National and Kapodistrian University of Athens Bataan Peninsula State University Charles Sturt University Serv Madrileno Salud Autonomous University of Madrid University of Oslo Pomeranian University Slupsk Universidad Nacional de Colombia University of Rzeszow Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences University of Debrecen Max Stern Yezreel Valley Coll ASL Roma B University of South Bohemia Ceske Budejovice |
